To qualify for residency in an assisted living facility, residents need to be ambulatory, meaning they are able to move on their own, and not in need of behavioral care or restraints. Other issues preventing admittance into a category one facility include catheter care needs, unmanageable incontinence, diabetes, pressure ulcers, oxygen, wound care, or the need for 24-hour skilled nursing.

There are two categories for assisted living services in Nevada, category one and two. Category one services are for those who are ambulatory, which is defined as being able to leave the facility unassisted in under four minutes. Category two residents may require assistance moving around, and category two facilities must meet specific fire and safety standards.

Assisted living services must include personal care, security, laundry and housekeeping, and access to all medical and social services that one may need, including dental and optical. Each resident must be able to enjoy at least ten hours of recreational activities a week provided by the center, and memory care centers must provide activities specifically designed to benefit those with dementia, such as those focused on sensory enhancement and gross motor skills.
